Polar Bears - California / San Diego Zoo

Rapidcitymbfan and Kinderchick,
I go to this site about 10 a.m., noon, 1:00 and 2:00 p.m. MST, and I usually always see Kalluk, the big male, or his sister, Tatqiq. Also, sometimes when I look in about 9:00 a.m., I see Chinook, who wanders around the area by herself for while, then leaves, and the other two arrive. I often minimize the camera to the corner of my computer, so I can see if anything is going on throughout the day with Kalluk, as he is very funny to watch. And the new camera they installed looks for the bears, and is very close up, which is great.

In the polar bear world at the San Diego Zoo, there is always news to report, as, of course, they are not going anywhere. Kalluk, the big male, is being very accommodating to his sister today. He has a favourite spot where he likes to roll around, on top of the big rock, and she came along and took it over with barely a "move over"; he was o.k. with this, and went and sat elsewhere, but then later he decided to go to another of his favourite spots, under the big rock, where he can keep cool, and his sister came in and took that over, too, so now you have the two of them crammed in there, and it is hardly big enough for one. So far, he has been very good about this, as he is mostly a good-natured fellow, but as I speak, he is trying to get back his shady chair, and she will have none of it.
I don't know if this is payback time for her or not, as yesterday, he pushed her very hard while they were play-fighting in the pool, and she was upset with him and left.
The more I watch these bears, the more fascinating they become. They have so much personality, a sense of play, and good and bad behavior - much like humans, I guess.
Kinderchick:
Great news for Chinook but not so great for Kalluk, right now. :(
